	Korea Adoption Blog
		Though I haven’t heard anything, I’m sure that they will have someone to write for the Korea Adoption blog shortly (if not already) and I have no doubt that I’ll be checking in to see what the new blogger has to say.
		There are some days where I just don’t think it’s possible for my brain to take in any more data and then wham…it hits me. Anyhow, Third Mom has one of her “open mike” posts up asking which ones is better – adoption or orphanage.
		There is a lot stress on the fact that parents need to make sure they are exposing their children to the culture of their birth (no matter what that culture is).

		The role of literature and art in North Korea is primarily didactic; cultural expression serves as an instrument for inculcating Juche ideology and the need to continue the struggle for revolution and reunification of the Korean Peninsula.

		Because of the adverse climatic condition in Korea, and the limited areas available for fish culture development, a number of trials on closed recirculating culture systems have been made in the country by fish farmers.

		I have a good few Korean nationals as friends and while they did explain some things about their culture, it is amazing what is taken for granted.
		The Korean culture is very different to any European and without this book life in Seoul would have been much more difficult.

	Bug vol. 5: Foreigners and Foreign Culture in Korea, reviewed by Seliger
		Like all previous issues, Bug 5 has a main theme, and this time it is "foreigners and foreign culture in Korea." Innumerable articles have been written on foreigners in Korea; nonetheless, Bug 5 manages to contribute a fresh perspective.
		A rather conventional assessment of major fast-food chains uses the time-honored approach of high school magazines and rates each on such items as music, food and how 'green' (environmentally friendly) it is. Accompanied by a long, pointless dialogue about the advantages and disadvantages of each chain, this piece leaves the reader disappointed.
		The relationship between the frequent use of profanity in some articles and the perspective of cultural criticism is not clear to me, but I am sure there must be an explanation.

		Since the majority of research has been limited to southern Korea, not only is there a lack of adequate understanding of the northern regionâs uniqueness but there is also no specific consciousness of differences extant within the region.
